Progress on bean pathology research in Uganda
Diseases were identified as the most important factor limiting bean production as early as 1960. Research on these diseases in Uganda focused on the important ones as identified by pathologists. The progress presented here summarizes the work carried out on these diseases since 1960. Between 1960-1984 races of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and Uromyces appendiculatus were identified. The survival mechanism and transmission of angular leaf spot was established and the use of fungicides in the control of diseases was studied. Benlate gave control to angular leaf spot while rust was best controlled by dithane M45. Breeders' materials were evaluated for diseases in different areas. Since 1985 more diversification in pathology research has occurred. Work has been done on ascochyta blight, CBB, BCMV, halo blight as well as on effect of intercropping on diseases and crop loss assessment. Evaluation of breeders' materials and disease nurseries is also being carried out. (AS)
